  Huh?  What?  I hope that isn't the reason why it isn't being accepted?
I can see legitimate reasons why the patch isn't accepted but that isn't
one of them.

  I can violate ARIN policies well enough without this patch.  I've had
outside consultants inform me how their clients use ancient Cisco AGS
routers to dead-enter entire CIDR blocks so they pass the standard.



  On a side note, I'd actually like to see a mechanism to attach owners to
IPs, and allows owners to bind to ports < 1024.  Perhaps some sort of
role-based control system needs to be looked at.
